Cheese Curds

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Coating

    In a mixing bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well.

  2. 2

    Coat the Cheese Curds

    Dip each cheese curd in buttermilk, letting the excess drip off, then dredge in the flour mixture until fully coated.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep frying pan or pot, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  4. 4

    Fry the Curds

    Carefully add the coated cheese curds to the hot oil in batches, frying for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown.

  5. 5

    Drain and Serve

    Remove the fried cheese curds from the oil and drain on paper towels. Serve warm with spicy dipping sauce.
